The following is really dirty but at least to me it succeeds and to me
it seems to have less influences than the 'make 3.81 dance':

# dirty hack for gnu make 3.82 race condition
do_compile() {
    if [ x"$MAKE" = x ]; then MAKE=make; fi
    bbnote make ${PARALLEL_MAKE} "$@"
    for error_count in 1 2 3; do
        bbnote "Number of trials: $error_count"
        exit_code=0
        make ${PARALLEL_MAKE} "$@" || exit_code=1
        if [ $exit_code = 0 ]; then
            break
        fi
    done
    if [ ! $exit_code = 0 ]; then
        die "oe_runmake failed"
    fi
}

I have make 3.82 and before this I had 100% error at first do_compile.
For rerun (without cleanup) I had 100% success. Now I get 100% success
with make called twice. Would something like have a chance to be
accepted?
